Canal St. Chronicles Mock Draft 3/21/13

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; no way we go WR...... no way.... if we do..... well ya no its better we don't talk bout it... but that would be dumb to the fullest extent ..... WORST D IN HISTORY N GO WR 1st pick... no ...

A future lineup of Joe Morgan, Nick Toon (if healthy) and Austin would be an awesome "reload" in the receiver department for Mickey and co.

While I like all three players(I love Tavon Austin), if this is our future and considered an awesome reload, I think we'd be in trouble. Realistically, you may have a #3 receiver in Morgan, a 4 in Toon, and a really good slot guy with Austin. I might be generous here too.

Lots of WR's in the draft... while Austin is a fun and exciting player to have, I think we should look in a different direction.

The Vikes are reportedly targeting Austin with one of their 1st rounders to compensate for the loss of Harvin, so maybe there'd be a possibility of a trade with them if they want him bad enough and believe that the Saints would otherwise pick him..? I doubt it personally, but who knows?

The only position from the offensive side of the ball that I'd be OK with using the 1st rounder on would be an OT, anything other than that position and I'd like to see a defensive player picked instead.

Like Danno pointed out - if we shore up a few more positions in FA I wouldn't hate them for going with who could be the most dynamic offensive player in this years draft.

Even if we shore up a few more positions, this is the worst D in league history...... EVERY PICK Besides Terron Armstead in the third should be a defensive selection, including the one or two extra picks we get for trading down

WAS the worst defense... And can we throw out 2012, once and for all?

How are they already better you ask? Here are my reasons in chronological order:

Yeah, but who cares about the Colts? For your sake let's change it to a defense that was record breaking in its badness, or a defense that received more laughs than last season's Big Bang Theory, or... Look, it's left a really bad taste in many of our mouths around here and that's the kind of thing that doesn't go away by us keeping our mouths shut.
